I have a question about the frame of the S3. I own a standard size s3 and there is a cross frame that goes underneath the spoilboard and also connects to the front and back frame.
I wonder if I get rid of it, will there be any serious repercussions?
Reason for my question is I want to rise my machine to gain more z height. So I want to ditch the metal straps.
If I do that, then my S3 will be sitting on a large MDF base with 4 large wooden blocks to prop the frame up by (2-3 inch). In the center, I will have the sacrificial spoil board bolted in the middle but not connected to the frame in any way. This way I can add or remove layers of spoil board to control the Z depth of cut.
I don’t know if this makes sense to you guys. I am just wondering the feasibility of this idea. Since I will remove the metal strap, propping the machine up by 4 wooden blocks at 4 corners.
